WTI crude tops $95, up over 2% intraday

The break above $95 signals that supply-side anxieties remain the dominant pricing force, with volatility likely to persist as long as those concerns do. This move matters for energy-dependent sectors and broader inflation expectations, which could ripple into rate-sensitive assets. The key question is whether this level holds or if profit-taking and demand-side weakness cap further upside, given the thin fundamental detail in the report.
